Thankful! {jewelry giveaway!}

I'm so thankful for the recent fall-like weather.Thankful for our new kitchen floor. (pictures soon.)Thankful for a hubby who works hard.Thankful for our amazing and supportive buyers.Thankful for the gorgeous people who ask me to take their photos.Thankful for exciting Fall events coming up.Thankful for friends who stick with me, even when I get too busy to call them.Thankful for coffee. Let's be honest here...Just so darn thankful for this life!

I'm so thankful for my health, it's not perfect, but I'm working on it. Without good health, everything else is so difficult. Hubby is in chronic pain which makes me hyper aware of the need for good health.

I am SO thankful for my family... my father just made it through colon cancer surgery and my brothers' families are close to them while I'm thousands of miles away... they are the best and make me feel better knowing they are there taking care of everything.

I am thankful for the wonderful, merciful God that always blesses my life when I least expect it. I am also thankful for my incredible husband who always finds the time for me and makes our time seem so special (he is going through medical school right now, so he's quite busy):)

Considering that I'm probably the worst at making decisions, it's so hard for me to pick what I would use the certificate on! As a teacher, I am in love with your "dream.teach.inspire." necklace, it's beautiful. But I also love your "chosen & cherished" necklace. Everytime I go to The Rusted Chain, I find one more piece that I adore! Keep up the beautiful work:)

I am so very thankful for finding your blog (and a few others) where I feel a sense of belonging, that I am not alone in the journey of being a woman, a daughter,a mother, a wife and a friend. I really look forward to your Fingerprint Fridays, thanks so much Beki.

I'm thankful for the quiet joy that comes when I KNOW that no matter what is going on in my life, the One Who made me loves me more than any human possibly could... and that I'm blessed with a sweet husband who does his best to model that love to me also!

I am thankful for every wrinkle and every gray hair. They are not a part of me by mistake, they help tell the story of where I've been and who I am. I am the wife of a wonderful man and the mother of the most incredible five year old little girl and the step mother to five other children. Life has thrown a lot our way and we love every minute of it.

I just discovered your shop the other day thru Thrifty Decor Chick, and I've been bookmarking Christmas presents already! For my daughter, I want the Jesus Loves Me necklace. For myself (because I Christmas shop for myself too!) I want the "How Great Is Our God" necklace. Your jewelry is GORGEOUS and so inspiring! Super-excited to see you do giveaways! :)

I'm just thankful for another day. It was a beautiful morning to wake up to and all is well with my family today. What more can you ask for? If I were to win, I would send a necklace to my only daughter who lives in Denver. We haven't seen her in almost 4 months and I miss her terribly. I would buy another necklace for myself, so we could both wear one...maybe she'll think of her Mom who loves her so whenever she wears it. :)

I am so thankful for my beautiful and healthy daughter. I see so many who never get the chance to hold their babies due to miscarriages or premature birth and I thank God every day for my daughters sweet kisses and hugs.

I absolutely love the I HAVE ALL I NEED necklace. So much so, that I may have to order it anyway.And I am so thankful that that is true, that I have all I need. And much, much of what I want.God keeps me supplied with happiness.Weezer

I am greatful to God for providing for us the last 2 years. My husband has been unable to find work for that long and God's people have been gracious and God has been so good to us, we still have a roof over our heads, food to eat and gas for me to get to my job. He is so good!

Last year, almost everyday, I put my 'thank you's' on my blackberry. When he was away last thanksgiving, I copied and pasted them all into a Word document, played with it to make a little booklet, and hid it in his suitcase. There were things in there he didn't even remember doing, but I see that he reads it from time-to-time.

I am thankful of a husband that no matter how much we don't see eye-to-eye, he is so protective if someone hurts my feelings! I am also thankful for all the blessings that I have in life and how good life is right now. Thanks for the great giveaway and a chance to think about all of our blessings!
